"Liverpool believe the proposal they have placed on the table is the most lucrative one yet in terms of basic salary. But while Arne Slot's side have 'confidence' Konate will accept the proposal, it was noted competition for his signature is fierce, and is not limited to Real Madrid."
"The Frenchman, 26, will see his current terms at Anfield expire in the summer. Liverpool have made repeated attempts to tie Konate down to a new deal since opening dialogue with his camp all the way back in the autumn of 2024. As yet, there's been no breakthrough, and we're now just three months away from a painful free agent exit for the Reds."
"When Liverpool and Real Madrid meet in the transfer market, it's usually a no-contest. Los Blancos successfully lured Trent Alexander-Arnold away from his boyhood club last summer, and also snatched Reds centre-back target, Dean Huijsen."
Liverpool have launched a new and improved contract offer to defender Ibrahima Konate in an attempt to secure his future at the club. Konate's current contract expires in summer 2025, and negotiations have been ongoing since autumn 2024 without resolution. The 26-year-old French defender has attracted significant interest from multiple top European clubs, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Inter Milan. Liverpool's latest proposal represents their most lucrative offer yet in terms of basic salary. Despite the club's confidence in the proposal, competition for Konate's signature remains fierce, with Real Madrid having previously successfully signed Liverpool targets including Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jude Bellingham.
